Technical Questions

When you are looking at a specific page, in this case your project page, you can click on the "watch" tab at the top. That makes that particular page part of "my watchlist" so you can see the changes that matter the most to you. Hope this helps! - Cynthia Bischoff, Project L - 1/25/07

2. Does anyone know how to post PDF files to their wiki pages? I found this great website that will convert Word documents to PDF for free, but I don't fully understand how to post the PDF on the wiki.
Bethany Lafferty, Project K - 2/11/07

I answered my own question! But for those who are interested, you have to upload the PDF by clicking on the "Upload file" link in the left-hand toolboox section. Then after you've uploaded the file, you click on the file link in your "File" page. You'll then copy the URL for your PDF and paste it into the editing section of your desired page. I hope this explanation is helpful for others. Bethany Lafferty, Project K - 2/11/07

Non-Technical Questions

3. Does anyone know where we will be meeting in D.C.? I'm trying to book a hotel that (unlike in Seattle) is remotely close to where we will be... Help! Thanks :)

We are trying for the convention center. We'll know more in April, I think. Connie

4. For the poster sessions, will we be able to use backboards (like the ones shown in these examples )? Or, are we expected to use the tri-panel poster boards that are scored and bend to stand on their own? Our group had designed a wall poster, but are now back to square one since the CC won't allow them to be attached to the wall. How are other groups planning on displaying their posters? --Thanks!

Matt,
Our group (GG) is in the same boat. We contacted Connie, who said she might be able to bring a bunch of tri-folds, since she's driving, but we haven't heard definitively yet. You might want to contact her about it though, and see what she's recommending...

5. Does anyone know if/where the EL material from 2007 went? I'd love to see the report from last year's project that led to this year's! (Kim L)
